LYMPH FOR CONSUMPTIVES
DR. KARL VON RUCK
FROM BERLIN,
HON
He Hue) Knough of Prof. Koch'
niHcovery to Make is.ooo Injec-
llona.antlTbcre la HorecomliiK,
Or. Karl von Ruck, proprietor of the
Winyah Sanitarium, hns returned from
Berlin, where he went to investigate the
cure for conaumption discovered
Prof. Koch, of that city. He brought
back supply of the lymph.
Dr. von Kuck left, here Monday, Nov
17, almost as soon ns the discovery was
announced and went immediately to New
Vork tram where he suited for Berlin
As soon as he landed tn Germany he tele
graphed to an official with whom he was
acquainted and had credentials tele
graphed to him at Berlin, and on rcuch'
ing that place found them waiting fur
him. After making two efforts to
see . Dr. koch in icrson he was nd
nutted to an audience with the
doctor and had a short talk with him
on the subject of the great discovery
He says Dr. Koch told him that the cure
would undoubtedly work the best re
sults when aided by the proier climatic
influences.
UK SAW THK OI'UKATIONH
"I went to Berlin," said Dr. von Ruck
to TilK Citizkn to-day, "somewhat skep
tical us to the efficiency of Dr. Koch's
discovery, hut I am fully convinced of its
value as a cure for tuberculosis. 1 was
in Berlin lor two weeks and saw injec
tions of the lymph. I was tendered every
facility by the physiciuns in the hospitals
in Berlin to see the operation of the
fluid and saw a number of microscopic
nna iiost-mortem examinations. 1 lie re-
action alter the administering of
the lymph w.. also exhibited to
me. I picked out uliout one
hundred imticnts in the various iiisti
tutions where the cure was licing used
nnd watched their caaes closclv, visiting
them every duy nnd some of tiieiu twice
a duy, noting the progress of the work
ings ot the cure.
"My supply of the lymph" continued
Lr. von Kuck, "was renililv obtained
when I gave my credentials to those
naving it in clinrgc. I obtained it on
Tuesdny, alter arriving on Saturday
My supply consists til uirrc buttles ol
tncnuui. inn is tntecn cubic icntcnic
ters or about ball on ounce. This ii suf
ficient to make fifteen thutisand injec
tions, as only n very minute panicle
can nc inirctea Willi snictv. I
hnve received a cablegram to the
licet that twenty cubic centi
meters have hern shiiiiieil Iroin Berlin
in addition to tins iiuniility already on
hand. I will then huve enough Ivmph to
Inst Asheville six or more months. The
inantity to be administered at an injec
tion varies from the six hundredth to the
sixtieth part of a drop. The lymph
which I brought to this ti'.v i the' I rut
Hint has gone into the interior of this
continent, or ill other words west of the
city of New Vork and the other eastern
cities.
8TCUVINO THK THHATMKNT.
My object in staying in Berlin so Ions
after obtaining a supply of the lymph
was that I might get in lull the practical
method of treating patients. The mate
rial is a deadly poison aad is of course very
rous wben not properly admints
Tbose having coarse ol it in Ber
lin will not. under any consideration.
give it to any physician who bus not on
institution or who is not in some way
Lconnccted with an institution where the
treatment is to be followed. This is
done as precaution, for the mutter
is of such a poisonous nature that
sometimes after the injection is
made symptoms ante which require
immediate attention trom a physician
and those who have no institutition
could not be ready to attend to these
cases early enough. This fact of not be
ing able to obtain the lymph has caused
considerable dissatisfaction among the
doctors who nave gone to Ucrlin and
they of course are not so enthusiastic
over the discovery. All of the unfavora
ble reports that nave been published have
emanated from these men, who can not
get the lymph. Home of them hnve even
gone so Inr as to offer $100 per drop for
tne auosiancc ann couiu not get it at
that bibulous price.
"My opinion is tnat in properly se
lected cases the discovery is undoubtedly
a pecinc for and will lead to the arrest
of the disease and to cures of it ; esie
cially so if the treatment is carried out
under t lie most fuvorable circumstances.
At to the case of oatients thnt are not
far advanced in the disense, there is no
question of its wonderful and beneficial
effects and the improvements toward re
covery. What 1 have seen in cases thnt
have been treated for one or two months
cause me to have no doubt that it
will effect a permanent cure in tbeseensra.
I do not think it advisable to adminis
ter the lymph in advanced cases, because
it will not do any permanent good and
the reaction might be so violent as to en
danger the lite of the patient. Numbers
of the far advanced cases in Berlin have
resulted fatally from the treatment. 1
shall only administer It in carefully se
lected cases and not at all to patients in
advanced stages of tulierculosis.
APPKARANCI OP TF1 LYMPH.
"The lymph looks like sherry wine,"
continued Dr. von Ruck. "It I adminis
tered to the patient at a time of day
when be is at nearly free from lever at
possible. Then the patient la visited at
very frequent intervals, sny hourly, and
careful note is made of all hit symptoms
until the danger period it passed and the
reaction is accomplished. This it ordin
arily about twenty-four hours from the
time of the first injection. The violence
of the reaction Is entirely Individual nnd
if we could know what ench Individual
could stand the violent symptoms wonld
not cume as they have heretofore.
"The patient alter baying the injection
made hns a number of symptoms which
vary in intensity according to the dose
and to the individuality of the patient.
One of the first symptoms is chills, fol
lowed by high lever. Then comes a
sense of exhaustion nnd pntns located in
the parts of the body which are effected
by tne tubuculusls. The average patient
requires from twelve to twenty-inur Injec
tions, taking three nr four months to get
through. The lymph does not aflectany
part of the bodp that it not diseased and
is a valuable aid in diagnosis when the
existence of the germ is not known by the
usual methods. If any part of the body
la affected in the slightest by tuberculosis
this lymph goea at once to that spot
when an inject on but been made. I

ease lurks will 'icgiii to grow inflamed
and red, showing Unit the germ
is present. It 'if. ihcrcforo un aid
in ascertuinit i; if a permanent
cure hns bet.i effected, to make
an injection some time after the
treatment is concluded, as the uresencc
oi ttniercuiosis win ne at once shown
The lymph does not effect a person who
is not troubled with tulierculosis. I had
five milligrams of the lymph given to me
as an experiment and tne only way in
which it nnectea me was to produce
u smarting sensation where the skin was
IH.nct rated to make the iniection. That
dose might possibly h ive killed a tulier
culosis patient. In cases where there

ure benutilul. You can see the opera
tions of the lymph with the eye nnd
wutcn tne developments ot the cure.
it is my intention, it arrangements

ciuns to act in conjunction with them in
treatment ol cases. 1 will not give any

The charges will not lie more than the

"in Merlin," concluded Ur. von Kuck, I
saw numerous men who had heard ol
Asheville as a resort for consumptives."
A I'ATlKNT INOCI'I.ATKII.
Dr. von Ruck inoculated a putient at
the Winyah house at 3 o'clock this after
noon. The subject was a yonng lady
from South Carolina who hns been at
the sanatarium for almut three months.
She is a sufferer from tuberculosis of the
Inrynx and has lost her voice to such an

Ur. von Kuck took the small vial of the
precious lymph from its safe place in a
strong tin box with cotton packed
around it and with it the syringe to be
used, which much resembles the ordinary
inic'tor.
Dr. von Ruck look two milliuruins of
the lymph from the vial and iHiured it
into a tube. To this he added eighteen
milligrams of distilled, sterilized and
arbuhzed water, tnukiiiir what is called
the 10 percent, solution. He then took
two milligrams of this 10 ier cent, sola-
ion nnd put eighteen milligrams ol

If the newcomers who are (lucking In
